After some delays, I finally got the chance to embark on a little solo ride in search of a little snow. Destination: Mt. Magazine State Park, Arkansas. This day was relatively nondescript. I was delayed by traffic in Shreveport, LA and had to ride about 50 miles after dark. When I reached I-30 at Hope, AR the temperature was 28f. My feet already knew that. I got a room there for the night.

I wanted to get an early start so I started packing at 7:45am. I walked outside to find the thermometer reading 22 degrees. The continental breakfast in the lobby started looking pretty darn appealing. I enjoyed a cheese danish, bowl of raisin bran and coffee and by 9:30 the temp had climbed another 5 degrees. I plugged in my new homemade heated glove and jacket liners and hit the road. The fun started just north of Hot Springs on Arkansas Scenic Byway 7.
